My lawyer just reached a settlement with GM over the intermittent black screen issue with my 2019 Silverado 1500 WT.  After multiple unsuccessful attempts by the dealer to repair it,  I contacted a California Lemon Law lawyer.   GM repurchased my truck for the full price that I originally paid for it plus penalties to settle the case.    Gonna buy a FORD.

What ended up happening after the lawyer got involved?

GM settled the case by repurchasing my truck for the full price paid plus penalties.

I have a 2019 Chevy TrailBoss and the same thing has been happening with mine too. We’ve called the dealership and they said it’s due to the heat or hot weather (we live in Arizona) but to turn it off for a few minutes and turn back on and it should work. Didn’t fix it. It turns on/off whenever it wants. It’s been happening ever since. It happened again today and it was 75° This morning when I turned on my truck. I read somewhere else that someone was told it was due to the “cold weather” in their area. Sounds like an excuse to me. It’s July of 2022 and still no fix for this. This is disappointing considering what we paid for this truck.

O.K. well I guess I am not alone on this subject. I have not seen any recent posts about this since 2019. It is now 2021 and I just experienced this issue on my 2019 Trail Boss. Not controls, blank screen and the radio could not be turned off or down, or change the channel. I turned the truck off then on again. Nothing... When I arrived at home, I checked fuses all good. I went to back it into the garage and it magically worked. No clue how or why. I did not reset, pull fuses or anything. It just decided to work again, which worries me more as this sounds like such an intermittent problem, like most electrical issues (goblins in the wires). Anyone have a fix or has GM announced a fix yet?

It is July of 2022 and my truck is still doing the same thing. It’s terrible. Haven’t heard of a fix as of yet

Happened to me on my trip last week, about 3 hours on the road and screen went blank and I couldn't do anything to reboot it.  Tried shutting the truck down and quickly restarting but that didn't work either.  Shut it down again and waited a few minutes (was going to disconnect the battery but found I didn't have the right wrench) so I started it again and it came back on. 

 

It only happened the one time, hoping it doesn happen again and that it was just a fluke... but after reading this thread I'm skeptical!

My 2019 2500hd is garage kept and babied. Just rolled 30k kilometers and the radio just went dead and black as well. Just my luck, warranty expired in June. Has there been a resolve to this issue? If its programming would I really have to pay out of pocket for a fix?

I try to keep up with different threads on this issue, its hard now due to the list is so big. I have had this issue since 2020 when I got the truck and see its still going on with 2022 models. I'm getting the feeling that GM isn't looking into this. I would like to know why they are still selling the truck knowing its not working? The truck doesn't seem to have any other issues. My dealer just put in a new screen and then said just keep calling back to see if there is any updates. The GM person that reads these posts has been in touch with me but they aren't doing anything. They keep saying keep in touch with my dealer for updates. I would hope that someone would wake up and fix it. We keep having more people buying trucks with this issue, when are they going to take this serious.

When I do this, like today when I dropped my truck off for the belt squealing, they always tell me that the video is “nice” but it has to do it when it’s there for them to do anything at all…

Taking in my 2019 GMC Sierra Denali for the infotainment center going black.  It's been 2 1/2 weeks with nothing no radio, nav, phone or back up camera's on either the screen or the steering wheel.  Talked to service writers at 3 different dealerships to see if anyone knew about the black screen, nope never heard of it.  Called a fourth and bingo they have heard of it.  Per the service writer "just so you aware it will be over a $1,000 to fix it" doesn't know what the problem is but it will be over $1,000 to fix it.  Are you kidding me???? 

 

I read through the comments and tried the things that worked for others checked the fuses, held down the power for the radio and disconnected the battery which lead to other issues most resolved themselves but the lights on the radio controls stay on.  Came back outside and checked the lights stayed on 3 hours with the truck turned off so I pulled that fuse out.  Don't want have to buy another battery too.  

 

The software updates seem to be a common issue updating the HMI firmware or the V155 update for the 2021 models.  

 

Had my 2006 Chevy 2500hd Duramax for 16 years until it was stolen.  Didn't need the diesel anymore so I bought this truck seems to be a piece of crap having emission equipment issues and now the black screen.  Regrets.

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      By Sparky176 · Posted

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.
